Doctor Arrested at Airport

2 years ago

Peter Steinmetz is the Director or the Neuroengineering program at Barrow in Phoenix. On Friday, the doctor was observed in terminal 4, ordering coffee at the Starbucks while carrying a rifle over his right shoulder. When confronted, Steinmetz says he was there to buy a cup of coffee only according to court paperwork. He then walks away and stops in front of some gates -- on the non-secure side. Witnesses say that's where he removed his rifle from his right shoulder, causing the muzzle to face a mother and her 17-year-old daughter. Both say they feared for their safety. Police were called and Steinmetz was taken to jail.
